PDA's

[nozlnut36]

Hey all, Are there any departments using PDA's (personal digital assistant) yet? How are you using them? Personal use, reports in the field, Keeping info for ICS, FGC, IMS, command. If so Is there any recommendations on What kind and How much Memory?

Thanks, Frank

I am using a Palm Vx and it is mostly for personal use. Aside from the games I do have the USAMRIID Biological Guide in it and also a Chem-Bio Guide for terrorism response. The USAMRIID was free, the other was about 14.95.

I haven't seen anything on ICS but if I do it would help. My palm has 8MB of memory and I used only half so far.

What you have to look for is what you want to do with the unit and what is available. You can get a pocket computer with 64MB of RAM but programs available on palm won't work.
